Friday, October 13th, 2023 at 2:40p.m., Rhea knocked on Michelle's door while the others stood behind her, and Michelle woke up from her nap. She realized she had clean clothes on and there was a note on her nightstand. She grabbed the envelope and went downstairs. She opened the envelope and took the letter out of it. It said: Sorry about getting you drunk last night. We wanna make it up to you by giving you a gift and taking you out to lunch. Don't worry if you wake up in clean clothes. You weren't raped. We helped bathe and clean you off before putting you in the clean clothes. We spent the night and left in the wee hours of the morning. Hope you're feeling better. -TJD
She put the letter on the table and unlocked the door removing the deadbolt. She opened the door and saw Judgment Day standing on her porch. She scratched the back of her head and moved to the side. They went inside and Michelle closed the door behind them.
Michelle: Care for somethin' to drink?
Rhea instantly hugged her and Michelle had a vision of Rhea telling someone that they've won something.
Finn: We'll just have water for now.
Michelle snapped herself out of her vision and walked towards her fridge. She opened one of the doors and pulled out four bottles of water. She closed it and gave them the water.
Damian: How're you feelin'?
Michelle: I'm okay. I just woke up and read your letter. Death Grove Bridge.
Dominik: What about it?
Michelle: The four of you were there. I saw a car crash into the one in front of it and that car flipped over off the bridge submergin' in the water. It's like I'm watchin' a movie but I can feel what's happenin'. That person in that car was drownin' and you guys saved them when they should've died. Anybody who goes on that bridge always ends up losin' their life. Who was it that you saved?
Rhea: We can't tell you that.
Michelle: What happened to the drunk driver?
Finn: We can't tell you that, either.
Michelle: Yes, you can! Please, I have these flashbacks of all of you, Death Grove Bridge, a faceless victim, and dead bodies from the people that went missin'. Are you the reason why those 5 criminals are missin', now?
Damian: No--.
Dominik: Damian--.
Damian: We have nothin' to do with the deaths of those missin' criminals or any other criminals, but we did save someone on Death Grove Bridge, and that person's name is Jane Doe. She disappeared years ago after being released from the hospital. She stayed locked away in her house, and every Halloween, the neighborhood kids would come to her house prepared to knock on her door for some candy, but before they could, there would be a large bucket of candy waitin' for them. When Christmas came around, there would be Christmas presents on the doorsteps for the families from Jane Doe, and there would be no mailin' address. Jane Doe saved us, and for that, we'll always be indebted to her, and so, on that fateful night when she got into a car crash with that drunk driver, we saved her. The drunk driver ended up playin' a deadly game that he died from.
Finn: Damian here has the hots for Jane Doe.
Rhea: And we're infatuated by her. She saved many lives, helped many people, and she doesn't remember anything. If we were the ones that were behind it all, would you turn us into the cops?
Michelle: No, it'll be my word against yours, and I'm outnumbered. I don't have any evidence to pin on you, and besides, everybody needs justice. You would be doin' the world a favor.
